By the time I've gotten my senses back, I'm tumbling down the stairs, nearly fainting after glancing at the clock. I did pack my lunch and bag last night, thank the heavens I hadn't passed out mid way. The buses screech drowns me into painful reality once more, and again I'm rushing away from something. More specifically my house. The bus driver grumpily lets me in, leaving me In a great wave of relief that my sister exists. I walk down the isle avoiding snickers and whispers to the normal back of the bus. I sit down next to the odd girl who's normally in bright colors and headbands, but today is wearing a black jacket with purple mini stars, her long brown curls seeming more wavy, although she still writes furiously in her barren notebook. I put my blackberry colored backpack down, covered in anime stickers and pins. I follow after my parents, they're obsession over anime gifting me and sis with the names Rin and Yui. I find them nice though, my sister not so much. I then grab my also anime covered sketchbook out of my bag, where my Woe sketches and anime doodles appear. I flip to a new page where I begin to draw the new Demon that appeared in my dream, it's crackly voice still haunting me. The odd girl takes a moment out of her writing to peer at my sketch of a Woe. "Very descriptive, even for a sketch." I blush not knowing what to say. "This one reminds of something I've seen before, I think I may have my own version of it in my sketchbook." I look at her astonished, seeing as I had been called crazy for assuming things like these demons existed. She bends over to the ground where a black satchel with stickers and pins similar to mine dangle. "You like anime?" I ask perplexed. She nods and pulls out a crème colored sketchbook that's plain on the front, but has papers and notes popping out the sides. She flips through her pages to fast for me to examine until she reaches the page she's looking for, leaving me pale and frightened. The thing I saw last night and her sketch is identical, what I was going to draw nearly as accurate as her version. "So you have seen it." I open my mouth still shaking, until I slam into the seat headfirst as the bus stops, children rushing out of their seats. The girl bursts out laughing tears in her eyes, glasses drooping. I sit up and rub my head feeling the glare of my sister from across the bus. The girl manages to get past me and my head with her satchel getting in line with the kid in front of her. She smiles at me warmly and leaves me with "I'm Adelina, I had a fun chat, see you round."

In a room you can see a average looking guy laying at his bed and staring at the air. He is Alexander Morrow, an average otaku.

Alexander is staring at the air looking at a holographic like screen in front of him thinking ' Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!! Is this what I think it is?!?!?!? Fuck, I must be going crazy'.

" Alex, dinner is ready! " Said of a voice of a woman

 "Ok mom, I'm coming!" Said Alex

As Alex is going down the stairs he shouted "Mom, what's for dinner?"

 Alex's mom shouted back " It's simple fried fish!! Don't you dare skip dinner just because it's plain or imma woop your ass!!! "

 "I self taught myself to paint when my phone broke down and I didn't have anything to do. I half-assed carved when I was at grandpa's workshop"

 "Anyway let's open youtube to learn to draw. Let's see.."

As Alex was scrolling down he saw a Youtuber that he watches named 'Jazza' and clicks on it.

The title of the video is [How to Sketch like a Pro! - Tools,Tips and Tricks]

---Start of the Video ---  
     Hello everyone my name is Jazza and I'm going to teach you 5 thing to make your sketch better so let's get to it.

First of all, the sketchbook. You can go with a white one with a hard cover and a clipped pages to make it easier to fold. I also recommend the half toned color sketchbook because it makes the color white prominent.

Second, the tools. The most basic one is a pencil and an eraser. The other thing I'm going to say is optional so don't mind it if you don't have it. A mechanical pencil can be used, it is  great because you can change the thickness of the lead. And of course colored pencil.

Third. Relax, calm your mind. Play with the paper and the pencil. Scribble on it, make it messy. Now that you've blown all your steam. Relax, seriously relax. If you don't relax, the lines will be uneven and rigid

Fourth. Brainstorm. If you want to create a character then draw what first comes at your mind. Don't use erasers, don't be a perfectionist because that will be your habit as you progress and you won't be happy when drawing. When you finish drawing what comes at your mind, draw other images it's fine if it's a little cliche. Go beyond your comfort zone.

Fifth. Refined sketch. When you do a rough sketch it has thicker lines and rough details. A refined sketch is the opposite. You copy your rough sketch but with lighter pressure when holding the pencil. I think of the details as I draw the refined sketch.

That's all and thank you for watching. I hope I inspired you to start drawing.

-----------End of Video---------

"Wow that was helpful and entertain. I never thought I would stay for a 26 minute video. Anyway let's start sketching. Hmmmmmmm. How about a mad doctor."

Alex started sketching and though ' Hmmmm... Let's start with the head and body. How about I make it a mask made of human face.

* 1 hour later *

 "Damn that's good. It has a generic doctor coat and a saw and a scissor. It has a mask made of human face. My shadowing sucks so it has minimal amount of it. Anyway let's check the progress."

"Turned out to be another assassination attempt, huh?" Karma said.
"I guess so." Nagisa said. "By the way, Karma, Nagisa, how is your head feeling? I remember the kidnappers hitting it before they took me." You asked.
"Oh, they didn't bonk my head, just my back, you should be worrying more about Karma." Nagisa said. You turned to Karma. Placing his hands over his head, Karma felt for the bump, "It's not too bad, still kinda stings. It's pretty annoying."
You snickered and put a hand over the bump, you pressed onto it a little bit. "GAH! What the heck, (y/n)?!" Karma exclaimed. "PFFFTT! Hahahahaha!" You laughed.
  "Also, (y/n)..what is this?" Karma held up his phone to reveal a text;
Sloth 8:16
I love you
————————————————————
  The bullet train bumped as you scrolled through your phone. Everyone was chatting with another. In your carrier was Nakamura, Megu, Maehara, Terasaka, Kanzaki, Nagisa, Kayano, Karma, and Isogai. Everyone was chatting amongst themselves while you quietly sat in the corner of the train.
  Karma walked up to you, "You look lonely." He said. "Cool." You responded. He leaned over to see what you were looking at on your phone, you tilted your phone so he couldn't see. He grabbed your phone, "you seem suspicious as hell when you do that." He said. You quickly swiped for your phone.
  Karma stood up, you stood up as well, still reaching for your phone. Karma held it above his head with a smirk, "take it if you can reach."
  You began jumping for it. Karma just snickered. The two of you caught the attention of a few of your classmates. "Aww~" a few said. "Give it back, jerk!" You said, still hopping for your phone. "Ha, Fine." He said, taking it back down before giving it back to you. You quickly took it.
  Your classmates crowded around you, wondering why you so desperately wanted your phone back. You quickly turned it off so no one could see. They all had disappointed looks on their faces as you have a hmph! And looked away.
Suddenly, you feel a hand hold onto yours. "Karma, what the fuck?!" You exclaimed. He was grabbing onto your wrist on one hand and reaching out for your phone that was being gripped on by your other hand. You tried stopping him from taking your phone, but it was no use.
He forced your hand closer to the home button. You struggled to pull away, with a smirk he pulled your hand and placed your thumb onto the phone. Everyone crowded around your phone. Their faces went blank until you began chuckling, "hahaha, this is exactly why I don't use Touch ID, you idiots!"
Everyone had defeated looks on their faces until Karma spoke, "What's you birthday?"
"Pft! I'm not dumb enough to put my birthday as my password! Put (b/d), see for yourself." You smiled.
Karma filled it in nonetheless, didn't work. "Tell me the password or your gonna have condiments up your nose when you wake up." Karma said. "I already restole your spicy condiments" you smirked.
Suddenly, Nakamura had an idea, "Say the password, or else Karma will kiss you!" She threatened. "What?" Karma said, "sorry, nope!" He stuck his tongue out.
"Correction, we'll make him kiss you." Maehara said, "even though I'd rather have it.." he quietly added on. "Pft! You wouldn't be able to!" Karma said. "Oh yeah?!" Everyone said, as the boys began to push onto Karma's back, making him lean closer to you.
The girls did the same to you. You and Karma nodded, Karma spoke, "Three..two..one!" 
The two of you leaned down quickly, causing you two to only be an inch apart, this made everyone loosen up, thinking they had finished their job. Suddenly, you and Karma pushed them over, the two of you stood up from the chairs, as everyone fell on top each other on the train seats.
You, Karma, Nagisa, Kayano, And Isogai were the only ones who weren't in the pile of humans on the seat. You and Karma snickered as everyone tried untangling themselves from one another. Isogai, Kayano, And Nagisa rushed over to help everyone.
Once everyone was out of that mess, Nagisa spoke, "You know, maybe it'd be better if you went with a more gentle and polite approach." Nagisa walked up to you, "(y/n), can you please show us what you were doing on your phone?"
You hesitate before sighing, "f-fine..just don't laugh.."
"Eh?!" Everyone else exclaimed, Nagisa made it look so easy! You sat down, everyone crowded you. You unlocked your phone, using your hand to stop anyone from seeing the password. There they saw a drawing, a sketch.
It was a sketch of everyone a few minutes ago. Everyone talking to one another in the train. "Woah! So good!" Some mumbled. "Why did you not want us to see?!" Others said. Karma spoke, "something's wrong with the drawing.."
The rest of your classmates glared at him, don't ruin (y/n)'s self-esteem with your foul mouth! They all thought. "Terasaka doesn't look like an idiot in the drawing." Karma said. "Hey! Watch it, tomato!" Terasaka exclaimed.
As the two fought, you looked down, a slight smile on your face. "Y-you guys don't think it looks terrible?.." you quietly mumbled. "Why would we think that?" Everyone said. "Just..never mind..it's nothing!" You looked up, smiling.
Suddenly, Karma took your phone from your hands. He scribbled on it before handing it back to you. He drew you in the drawing, although the sketch looked a bit different compared to everyone else's, it still made everyone crack a smile. "Aww~" Everyone chorused, teasing Karma on how adorable he was being.
Kayano took a closer look at the drawing once more, "Geez, he even scribbled a devil tail and horns on himself." She said. Everyone laughed.
You weren't surprised when Karma took your phone, yet again. You thought he would just fool around and add weird stuff to everyone's faces. Suddenly, you regretted not liking at what Karma had done, once he said, "You use Wattpad?"
You quickly snatched for the phone. Everyone else saw this and held you down. You struggled against everyone. "Karma! See what her secret is!" Everyone exclaimed.
Karma opened Wattpad, he looked around before smirking. "(Y/n), just how lonely are you?" He chuckled. "STOP! RIGHT. NOW. KARMA. IM. GONNA. KICK. YOUR. ASS. IF. YOU.SHOW. THEM!"
It was too late, Karma was already sharing what he had found. "Oh?~ so (y/n) is an XReader person?" Maehara raised an eyebrow. You blushed, "mdmodnjdjnsjsjsj..." you mumbled.
"Meh, not as juicy as I anticipated." Nakamura shrugged. You looked down, flustered, "it's embarrassing.."
Nakamura, Kayano, Megu, and Kanzaki all sat beside you. Grinning they asked, "So..Can you follow me?" They all said.
Turns out, they liked reading XReaders as well. You all began agreeing and disagreeing with one another on who was best boi. Maehara wore a defeated expression as he faced a wall. "Maehara, what's wrong?" Isogai asked. "All..all these fictional, 2D men have defeated me in gaining the hearts of these beautiful girls..." he sobbed. All the boys laughed at him.
"But we all know, Karma is (y/n)'s best boi." Nakamura smirked. "Huh? Nononononono, [favourite male anime character other than Karma] is waaaaaaaayyyyy better!" You stuck your tongue out.
You felt a hand grab yours and felt a chest against your back, "oh please..I'm way better than those anime guys." Karma whispered in your ear. You went silent, blushing. You pushed Karma away from you as he laughed. "BOI! YOU ARE NOT BEST!! (F/m/c) IS WAY BETTER!" You yelled.[favourite male character.]
"Ouch, that hurt, princess~" Karma teased, pouting and putting his hand over his heart.
"IT BETTER!" You exclaimed.
And so, the train ride continued, with ridiculous things such as these happening..

DISCLAIMER:
I don't own any of the characters of Assasination Classroom, only this fanfiction of it!

  This story contains swearing and sensitive topics such as suicide and abuse, if you don't likie then don't readie!

  If you like stories where the characters quickly develop strong feelings for one another, then this isn't your story. I prefer to take the relationships slow to have their bond form more naturally-like

. And yes, I know this fanfic is a bit late from when Assassination Classroom ended, but I still can't get over it!

"Dinala mo ba yung magazines?"
Tumango naman si Masashi and he had a lot of magazines with him. Mosaic art kasi yung project nila same din ng sa amin kaya ayun sabay na kami gumawa. Anime girl na warrior yung sketch niya, while sa akin Old Victorian Vampire na Anime boy ang sketch ko. Mahilig talaga kami pareho ng anime kaya iyon lagi ang model namin kapag sa sketch. Nagsimula na akong mag gupit at si Masashi naman ang taga-dikit sa papel.
"Ayun sabi na, na ke crush---" 

"Sabrina!"

Gagang to. Inaasar pa ako sa harap ni Masashi ah. Bwisit siya. She's turning like my mom and my little brother who's messing around me when it comes to him. Hindi pa nga ako sigurado dito sa nararamdaman ko eh. What if naging crush ko lang siya ng maikling panahon dahil parati kami magkasama? Isa pa 4th year na kami, kapag nag-college na kami baka mawala din to. Tutal magkakaiba kami ng university na papasukan.
"Kidding." She laughed, "Nga pala malapit na rin yung pagtake ng exam noh? Kelan kayo kukuha? Kapag di pa kayo kumuha magsabay na tayo. Para diretso MOA tayo, dun sa comic alley. Di rin kasi ako nakabili ng anime figurines eh dahil sa singing competition ko nuon." Ngumuso naman si Sabrina
"This Saturday. Busy ako this week eh, pinupudpud na ako ni Pres para sa school festival." Sabi ko at napakamot na lang ako sa ulo ko
Since the festival in St. Louisa Academy is coming it has been a busy day. And knowing Arche, that guy is very perfectionist at gusto niya na maiayos talaga ang festival next week. Kaya pagkatapos din nitong mosaic art namin ni Masashi. Ever since that we became closer talagang sabay kami nag-aaral. We have been serious when it comes to studies. Kaya kahit anong activities or project, we got each other's back.
When our study session is done, agad naman na ako nauna papuntang music room for the meeting. Arche already texted me for the meeting pero bago ako makapunta sa music room ay hinarang ako ni Rose. "Eto na pala yung ilusyunada,"
"I don't have time for any shits you have Queen Bee."
Wala na akong time para makipagdeal sa mga inggit na nararamdaman niya. She's not worth it. Nung nilampasan ko siya ay hinila naman niya ang buhok ko, "Stop dreaming you malicious bitch!Ang panget mo, sa tingin mo ba talaga magkakagusto sayo si Masashi? Pwede ba wag ka na ngang maglalapit sa kanya because he has a girlfriend," Sabi ni Rose at binuhusan na lang niya ako ng malamig na tubig niya sa bote niya. 
Panget...
Ilang beses ko na nga ba yan narinig sa bibig ng iba? I thought na sanay na ako marinig yun pero hindi pa pala. Dapat sanayin ko na lang ang sarili ko na makarinig ng masasakit na salita pero hindi. Masakit pa rin pala ang salitang yun kahit na ilang beses ko na naririnig sa mga ibang tao yun. Alam ko naman na panget ako eh, bakit kailangan pa na ipahiya nila ako? Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at tinulak ko na lang siya ng malakas. "Ano ba! Hindi niyo ba ako titigilan!"
Ano pa nga ba aasahan ko sa mga alepores niyang si Rose? Tawang-tawa lang naman sila sa nakita nila. Bakit kasalanan ko na naman? Whenever I wanted to be happy parating may haharang sa kaligayahan ko. Is it a curse that I have this face? Kasalanan ko ba? Pucha bakit ako! Ano bang nagawa kong kasalanan! Mabait naman ako! Why do I have to suffer like this? Bakit ako! Isang malaking kasalanan sa panget na tulad ko ang maging kaibigan si Masashi? And for the record, he's the one who approached me. He's the one who wanted us to be friends...
Pero bakit bawal makipagkaibigan sa kanya? Napayuko na lang ako at hindi ko mapigilan ang pag-iyak ko. 

"Tama na yan!"

Nagulat na lang ako sa sumigaw. It made me shocked nung nakita ko si Pres na papunta dito. Kinuha naman niya yung jersey niya sa bag at sinuot niya sa akin yun. Mukhang sa male's volleyball team yun ha. I didn't expected that. "Pres.." My voice are cracking at hindi ko mapigilan ang iyak ko so he got closer to me and patted my head, "I'm here. Wag ka ng umiyak diyan. Kitang-kita ko ang nangyari Secretary Kaneshiro."
He got closer to Rose at ang sama lang ng tingin ni Pres sa kanya, "Ms. Park, kung sa tingin matatakasan mo ito katulad ng ginagawa mong pambubully sa ibang estudyante? Pwes tumigil ka na! Wag na wag mo akong inaangasan porket pulis ang tatay mo? Sa tingin mo ba kapag nalaman ni Sir Jared ang ginagawa mong pambubully sa estudyanteng mahina sa tingin mo ba mataas ka? Pwes hindi! Magtago ka na dahil hindi ito makakalampas sa guidance councilor. Halika dito!" Galiit na saad nito at pwinersa naman siya ni Arche na sumama sa kanya 
"Are you nuts! I'm Rosemary Ann Park, The Queen bee Arche. No one can do this to me! Not even you," She glared at him
Sinenyasan naman na ako ni Arche na umalis na kaya tumango ako. Sumunod naman yung mga ibang alipores ni Rose at napairap na lang ako. Para talaga silang aso no? Na susunod-sunod sa gusto manyari ni Rose. Tch, bakit ko pa nga ba sila iniisip eh samantalang they bullied me. So I shouldn't even waste my time on them. Sa hitsura ko ngayon hindi ako pwede umuwi sa bahay. I don't want to trouble my mom. Dahil madami na siyang iniisip na pasyente. 
She's a doctor, a Doctor Specialist. And my dad, he has his own construction company at Civil Engineering si dad and he expected that I should be an architect pero ayoko. Gusto kasi niya na balang araw makakatulong ako sa mga planta at pagawa ng bahay but it's not my expertise. I'm still debating whether I take Fine Arts or Graphic Designing. Talagang sa arts talaga ako magaling eh. 
Siguro naman pwede naman ako pumunta kina Connor noh? Siya lang kasi matatakbuhan ko. I just can't go home when looking like this. Ayoko mag-alala si mom para sakin. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako and I called him at agad naman sinagot ito ni Connor, [What?]

"I can't go home...pwede bang duon muna ako sa inyo?"Tanong ko

[Wala ako sa bahay. Kasama ko si Ria. It's baby time. But if you wanna go, alam mo naman kung nasaan yung bahay. My red headed bitchy sister is there for sure okay lang naman sa kanya na matulog ka dun sa tabi niya. Sige na, bye!]

Napairap na lang ako. Tagsibol na naman ng kalandian tong si Connor.  =_= 

Ria, huh? Paniguradong hindi rin tatagal yan. Marami talagang babae yan si Connor at di na sa akin bago yun dahil talagang playboy na siya nuon pa lang. Palagi kong sinesermunan pero mas gusto daw niya ng excitement sa no string attach. Ewan ko ba, dakilang gago talaga yan eh. Now I understand kung bakit laging hambalos ang inaabot niya kay Tita Satsuki. Nag-jeep na rin ako agad papunta sa bahay nila Connor. Wow. Ang laki ng mansion. So it's not really a joke na anak pala talaga siya ng CEO.
Nag-doorbell naman na ako and then lumabas naman si Tita Satsuki at pinagbuksan ako. Ang cute niya. Hindi siya halatang 30s kasi mukha pa din siyang baby faced. She looked so happy when she saw me kaya niyakap naman niya ako, "Wakana right? Yung best friend ni Connor? Come in, pasok ka iha."
Dinala naman na niya ako sa loob at halos nagulat si Piper nung nakita niya ako. "Akalain mo, that bastard is not really lying huh? Talaga palang best friend ka niya Miss Secretary. Naku wag kang ma-fall dun ah baka maging mali ang landas mo kapag sa kapatid ko bumagsak."
"Hindi talaga. May iba akong crush. Magaling magdrawing. Tsaka sa gago ni Connor? Ew, ayoko." Napailing na lang ako at tawang-tawa naman si Piper sa sinabi ko and she just laughed her ass out, "I like you na ha! Buti matalino ka."
May kinuha naman na damit si Tita Satsuki at binigay niya sakin yun. Mukhang napansin niya na basang-basa na ako. Alam na alam niya talaga pormahan ko. Simpleng yellow t shirt at maong pants. Basang-basa na kasi uniform ko dahil sa ginawa ni Rose eh. Nag-cr naman na muna ako at nagpatuyo. After that nagbihis na din ako nung binigay sa akin na damit ni Tita Satsuki. After I went out nagulat na lang ako sa lalaking nakaabang at nakangisi siya, "May chicks."
Hinampas naman siya ni Piper ng tsinelas, "Thor Colton, subukan mong gawing babae mo yang si Wakana babalatan kita ng buhay!"Sigaw ni Piper at natawa naman yung si Thor, "Whoa, whoa. Easy sis, I'm not going to do anything." He raised his hands up and he chuckled
So siya pala yung binabanggit sa akin ni Connor na kasama niya madalas sa lahat ng kalokohan. Parehas silang playboy. Hay naku ewan ko nga ba. Hinila naman na ako ni Piper at kitang-kita na nag-aalala siya. Pinunasan niya ang mukha ko and she sighed, "Nahawaan ka ng germs ng kalandian ni Thor naku!" She said at di ko maiwasang matawa. Talaga ngang ayaw na ayaw niya na nalalapit ako sa pinsan niya noh? Come on, I can handle Connor edi ibig sabihin lang nun I can handle Thor as well.
"Hey it's okay. Kaya ko nga si Connor edi kaya ko din yang pinsan mo."I chuckled 
"Naku no, no! Alam ko kung hanggang saan aabot yang kalandian ni Thor. You'd ended up in bed so proprotektahan talaga kita!"Sabi ni Piper
Are they always like this? It feels like ang riot dito sa pamilya nila na maingay pero masaya. Ang hirap isipin na mayaman sila pero ganito eh. I didn't expect that. I did expected na talagang serious mode sa bahay nila pero mukhang hindi pala. It feels like they were just an ordinary family, katulad ko sa bahay. Ganitong-ganito kami eh. Maya-maya ay nag-text na si Mama at mukhang nag-aalala na siya. 

From: Mom
Baby girl, where are you? It's 7: 00 pm

To: Mom
Wag ka na mag-alala ma. Dito ako kina-Connor magstay. I have some art project that I need to finish. Pero bukas na bukas uuwi din ako. 

From: Mom
Okay baby. See you tommorow.


Lies. 

I just wanted to run away dahil na-bully ako ni Rose. I couldn't even tell that to my mom...and to everyone. Para saan pa? Ayoko din naman silang abalahin dahil problema ko to sa school. At yung problema ko sa schoo duon ko na din iniiwan. My parents are always busy in their work kaya ayoko na magkaroon pa sila ng aalahanin sa akin. I'm such a perfect daughter right? Ni ayokong sabihin na meron akong problema dito sa school. 
Napatingin na lang ako sa cellphone ko at napabuntong hininga na lang ako. I'm sorry Mom.  I don't think that I can even tell you about this bullying. Kaya ko pa naman....at kakayanin ko pa. Ayoko na isipin mo pa ako, you have some patients to save. At yun na lang ang isipin mo. Napaupo na lang ako sa sofa and I slapped my face at napaiyak na lang ako, "Tangina bakit ang hirap sabihin?" I asked at napaluha na lang ako. 
I always put my smile on my face kaya akala ng lahat I have grown as a happy child. Yes, I have a complete family but I always question my looks dahil ang panget ko. This is why I'm scared to confess to Masashi. Ngayon pa lang na magkaibigan kami ang dami ng mga tao na kumu-kwestyon, ano pa kaya yung sabihin ko sa kanya yung nararamdaman ko? Ngayon pa lang ang dami ko ng 'what ifs,'  paano pa kaya kung umamin na ako sa kanya?
"Siguro nga mahal na kita Masashi, pero bakit bawal? Bakit mahirap sabihin sayo yung tunay kong nararamdaman ko? Mali ba na magmahal ako?Kailangan ba talaga hitsura ang nagiging basehan natin kapag nagmamahal tayo? Ang hirap mong mahalin pero bakit sobra na akong hulog na hulog sayo? Kung maglaro nga naman ang tadhana, sobrang sakit ampucha,"

Hello readers!!! I am sorry and ashamed for not posting any chapters for this fanifc, but this is mainly because I am currently working on an omniverse based fanfic with multiple worlds from movies, anime, cartoons which i have seen at least, also this fanfic was a bit too unbalanced in the case of the MC who was getting too OP and entirely to fast. So kindly help me out, the following worlds are available and the harem would be a bit too large, so help me out guys, please.
Naruto, One-piece, Percy Jackson, Avatar the last airbender, Harry Potter,
ATG-Blue pole star, DC, Marvel Ben 10(Omnitrix),
ATG-God Worlds, DragonBall Z 
These are the total number of worlds i can work on and know about, i have already written a rough sketch for the first world, the Harry potter verse, so please comment on what other worlds to include into this multiversal fanfic, i have decided on some harem members as well for the first 5 worlds as shown and i will try my very best to keep it fun and not make the character too OP and make the story progress in a way that each world is challenging for the MC, also kindly guide me as to should i make the harem members travel alongside him or let them remain in the worlds as they are.
Your help and answers will be appreciated.

Will he able to protect his loved ones, find out in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z. (kidding, have fun.)

(Note: the cover picture isn't mine.)

It is the day after quarantine was lifted in Japan, We could all finally get together in the studio to work on our manga series. 
Out of the kindness of our landlord he let us have another apartment to use as a studio to work on our manga series, "Each Other" based around the Edo period. Currently, Shigechi and Akui are in the studio working on panels for the next chapter, as I am still in our apartment trying to find the main character's design sketch as I accidentally forgot what the main character's earing looked like. 
"Come on Come On" (as I am almost at my boiling point searching through a bunch of reference sketch folders) 
The longer I wasn't able to find it the more piles of papers were filling up my surroundings. 
"SHIT!"
I flung papers that were in my hands into the air as if I were a millionaire in the local nightclub spending thousands on drinks only and just sat there, face palming like Jean-Luc. 
"ugh, I fully give up on life" (Speaking as I turn to my emo self as usual) 
The voice of another human being from out of nowhere catching my attention, as also a hand holding onto the exact character design of the main character I was looking for was held right in front of my own eyes. 
"Hehe, was this what you were looking for?"
I twisted my whole body fast like the flash to face who this person over shadowing me was. 
It was a whole ass loli, tanned to be exact. The girl had blonde hair, soft purple eyes, wore glasses but, aside from her geek attire of just wearing an anime hoodie way far from her size, she had lovely breasts, my dream girl in one package I was just stunned there into shock and joy at the same time. 
"W-who are you?" (questioning her as I began slowly blushing)
"Hehe, I am Tamaki Kurogaki, anime expert and yaoi lover"
("YAOI?!! NOOOOOO I'M FOREVER STUCK WITH AKUI") Thinking to myself while crying on the inside slowly as everything fell apart from that moment on 
"And I am your brand new Editor to carry on the legacy of grandpa Sasho himself "
As she spoke of Sasho sensei, I snapped right of my phase and demanded to know more of the situation at hand. 
"Sasho? Grandpa? You're his granddaughter?" (Questioning with Concern) 
"Hehe, Of course how else would I be so good at my job? It's like they say in Shounen animes"
Tamaki points a finger before transitioning into a sailor moon as she is about to say something so 
weeb I'll probably just wanna end my life right now. 
"To be the best you have to learn from the best"
I just stare at her in disappointment, (as Tanjiro would be whenever Zenitsu made a mockery of himself,) just seeing her have so much, yet little to offer was sickening.
"Go Home" 
"Huh?!" (Surprised from the depressing response I gave to her) 
"I said Go Home, I already told Gen-san that we are fine without an Editor"
"hmph, Well clearly you weren't since you couldn't find a single piece of paper"
As I realised she still withheld the paper of the character design I approached her and snatched it out of her hands furiously, then proceeding to place my hand on her shoulder.
"Look ok, we don't need another Editor, ever since Sasho-sensei passed away we've been fine and still going through the same things he taught us and how to proceed with our mangas" 
"Do you understand?" (I said desperately) 
From the moment of silence and the guilt overwhelming her expression, It looked like I was able to finally convince her and that things for me, Akui and Shigechi were to remain the same, Tamaki though played the uno reverse card and smacked my hand away from her. 
"Understand my shit!" (yelling into my ears like siren she was) 
"I may like to play games with people but, grieving is definitely not one of them"
Being pushed back by her ongoing loli rant and approaching towards me as I try to give some distance between us before something really unrealistic happens and I'd have to face the consequences.
"So neither should you!"
"Ok, could you just stop moving towards me?!" (in the most pleading way possible)
"NO! because I am your editor and I will do what I must as your editor!"
The moment she got up in my face, Woop-dee-doo I slip on one of the papers on the floor and take the first flight down to wooden floor plates bringing along with me a loli who is going end up pretty bad in this outcome. 
Remembering what All Might has taught me, I awaken my inner hero to using my body as cushion for Tamaki to fall on so she wouldn't end up getting up badly hurt. 
"Nyahhh" (Wailing as she fell onto me) 
As we Star struck the ground, Tamaki got knocked out but, as I predicted before we unrealistically ended up in the most common yet the best position known to man passed down from ancestor to ancestor. 
Ladies and gents introducing the COW GIRL! The moment I realised we were when in this position I was freaking out but, at the same time it was good but, I was still freaking my ass off, I didn't know how old she was or in god's name hoping Akui wouldn't find us like this. 
("Shit-Shit-Shit SHIT!") panicking like it was lockdown again, I couldn't think straight
Few bitter seconds after collapsing together like corpses, Tamaki regained consciousness and rose up then, witnessing to see the roleplay they were currently plotted in. 
Hmm? (Staring way too much for my liking she was like a damn cat)
She then looks in my direction and my initial thought was she was going to act full anime girl and do the old comedy gimmick, call the guy a perv and physically abuse him until he was out cold but, in my case Tamaki gave off the most suspicious look ever and held onto me. 
"EEEP!" (My inner girl came out on accident)
"Ehhh, so you want to play this game?"
With an innocent exotic body, Tamaki leans in closer reaching towards my ear. 
"I'll go easy mode, is that ok?" (Whispering into my ear like a full Succubus) 
Hold On! Hold On! (Seriously shitting myself right now knowing what can happen) 
I pushed away this thoughtless loli as my innocence was on the line between life and death before the devil herself would show up to instant to wreak havoc. 
"Listen ok! I don't mind f*cking but, here is a no go no go" (Desperately trying to get words out)
"If Akui finds us like this we are both finished! Finished! I say!"
"What are yo-" (Confused like one person's anime choices she was staring at me ramble like a mad man) 
"hahaha"
Laughter? That didn't come from us, It was coming from the wooden floor boards next to us. As we looked to locate where the laughing had come from; we see part of the floor boards was loose exposing the smiling innocent face of Akui just chilling, watching the two of us still maintaining in the mating position 
"AHHHHHHHHH!" (Screaming for my own life, as I knew my time has come) 
"You were gone for more than thirty seconds"
"I was worried that my dear husband might've been abducted by another women but, instead you took another level down in humanity and became a child predator" (The face of inner demon was clear as day ready to attack) 
I yeeted Tamaki's sinful body away from my pure body and backed away from Akui as she got out of the floor boards holding onto my Kill La Kill replica scissor blade, sprinting like Usain Bolt towards me. Akui then prepared to swing the blade to cleanly slice my head off. 
"Don't worry my love, once you die I'll commit seppuku and we'll be together forever UwU" ❤️
 
"WRRRRYYYYY!" (while curling up my body as a way to try reduce the incoming damage) 
Mid way as my death was about to come, my brain thankfully malfunctioned and I passed out so I wouldn't have to suffer a painful death even though it was a coward's way of going out at least I was about to meet Sensei again. 
"Die for me Yasuo-kun!" ❤️(Her voice screeching like nails scratching on a table)

"Stop!" (Tamaki spoke to halt Akui's attack) 
Tamaki got in the middle of Yasuo and Akui to stop the murdering that was at hand. She then grabbed the blade off Akui and gave really angry posture towards like she was exactly taught by her grandad on how to deal with Akui's issue. 
"Grandpa told me a lot about you, as your new Editor we have things to discuss about your issue"
"Who do you think you ar-" (Trying to speak in her yandere state but, slowly turning back to normal)
"No silence from you!" (Demanding from the loli Tamaki controlling her new employee) 
Without any choice Akui gave up and just knelt down with Tamaki as the cowardly and unconscious Yasuo soulless body was resting behind Tamaki. 
"I-I'm sorry, Tamaki-Sensei" (Back to her normal state and pleading in a guilty tone)
"Hehe, now that's what I'm talking about?!" (So pleased with herself Tamaki as she was able to tame a new pet) 
Away from the scene of events, Shigechi comes around to see if his boss hadn't died yet to his own foolishness. 
"Yo Yo" (Shigechi trying to greet someone inside the apartment) 
"Is anyone here? At all?"
Searching around the apartment he eventually stumbles upon Akui acting like a servant to a loli he has never seen before holding onto a scissor blade, while he looks behind Tamaki to see his very boss passed out dead on the floor. 
"It was only six minutes" (Shigechi feeling so embarrassed over the time)
"Already something has happened that I do not want to be involved in" 
"Yare Yare"

Natapos na rin ang napakatagal na Flag Ceremony. Makaka alis na rin sa wakas ang apat sa napakainit na ground.
"Ughh! Maiitim na talaga ako nito" reklamo ng isa pa sa mga OA na mga classmates ng apat.
Si Kristal, ang campus crush. Bakit nila hate? Kasi sumusobra na talaga ang ka oa-han. Di naman matalino. May rumors nga din daw na t-in-wo time niya ang dalawang lalaking nagka crush sa kaniya.
"Hi Andy!" Tinawag ni Kristal si Andy. Napapikit si Andy at huminga ng malalim.
"Eto nanaman tayo, bish stay away from me nga... kalma lang Andy" sabi niya sa sarili.
"Hi kristal" sabi niya sabay pakita ng napaka sweet niya na ngiti.
"Ang init dito no? Grabe... hindi man lang maka gawa ng anong tawag don? Roof top?" Sabi ni Kristal na malapit ikatawa ni Janine na nakarinig... magkatabi lang kasi si Janine at Andy pero hindi siya pinansin ni Kristal.
"Hindi yun Roof top... magkaiba ang Gym at roof top" paliwanag ni Andy.
Wala kasing Gym sa kanila kaya napipilitan silang sa ground tagala kahit na napakainit. Gym ang gusto ni Kristal pero public lang kasi ang school nila at wala masyadong pera.
Kristal is from a private school. Pero sa hindi nalalamang dahilan, nag transfer siya sa public school na hanggang ngayon, reklamo ng reklamo kasi mainit daw. Eh ba't di ka bumalik doon sa pinanggalingan mo?!
"Oh... by the way, why are you always with those guys? Why don't you come with us?" Sabi niya sabay turo sa mga kabarkada niya na pulang pula ang labi kagagamit ng lip tint.
"No thanks... i prefer being with my real friends" sabi ni Andy sabay ngiti at tanggal sa pag akbay ni Kristine sa kaniya.
Dali dali siyang bumalik sa classroom at in open ang classroom. Hinanap niya ang mga kaibigan niya.
"Whew! Di niyo malalaman ang hirap na pinagdaanan ko kanina. Para akong mamamatay!" Sabi ni Andy sa kaibigan niya.
"Bumalik ka pa pala? Akala ko magiging plastic ka na din?" Sabi ni Janine.
"Ako? Baka nga i flame thrower ko pa yun... nakakasira ng kalikasan bhie." Sabi ni Andy na ikinatawa ng apat.
"Pero pano yun? I f-flame thrower mo nga pero pano yung pekeng diamante?" Sabi ni Vincent.
"Hala! Oo nga no? Yung bato dapat kasi ibinabalik sa lupa" sabi ni Janine.
Tumawa silang apat.
"Oh siya siya... andito na si ma'am" sabi ni Ashley.
"Good Morning Class!" Sabi ng napaka masayahing teacher nila. Si Ma'am Maria Corpuz. Mabait siya sa mga estudyante niya kaya madali siyang malapitan.
"Good morning din po Miss Maria!" Bati ng lahat.
"Mabuti ba ang pakiramdam ninyong lahat?" Tanong ng adviser nila.
"Mabuti naman po kaming lahat" tugon ng class president sa tanong ng teacher nila.
"May absent ba?"
"Wala po ma'am" reply ng secretary namin.
"So ngayon daw kasi... ginawang free time ng principal, para daw makapagpahinga kayo! So ano gusto ninyo gawin?" Sabi ni ma'am na may pagka excite.
"Anime!" Sabi ng isa sa classmates nila na gusto din ni Andy.
"Kpop!" Sabi ni Seri na nakapag paikot ng mata nilang apat.
"Coco Melon" sabi ng kaklase nila na nakapag pakunot ng noo ni Andy.
"Ano kayo? 5?" Sabi ni Andy sa loob ng utak niya.
Tahimik lang silang apat. Mas gusto nila ang magbasa, mag draw at Matulog.
"Hindi ba puwedeng tumahimik nalang sila?" Sabi ni Vincent kay Ashley.
"Wag mo nalang silang pansinin." sabi ni Ashley na kanina pa nagsusulat ng kung ano ano.
"Pano kung horror movie nalang?" Sabi ng president na ikinaka-ayaw na ayaw talaga ni Andy.
Hindi naman siya takot doon. Bitter lang kasi. Mas bet niya yung mga action, yung tipong Martial Arts, Baril barilan. Mas gusto niya yung mga ganun kase may matututunan daw siya sa self defense. Pero kapag horror na, wag ka nalang mag expect na matatakot siya. 
"Ayan nanaman tayo sa mga nakakarinding sigawan at mga ka oa-han" Sabi ni Andy na inaprobahan ni Janine.
"Sigurado ako rinecommend lang yun ni President kasi katabi niya yung crush niya at para kapag natakot siya ang pupuntahan." Comment ni Janine na ithinumbs up ni Andy.
Kinuha ng Ma'am nila ang projector at ipinapili ang president ng movie.
"So ang napili ko ay ang The Nun... Thumbs up ba lahat?" Tanong ng president.
Kinuha ni Andy ang Sketch book niya at sketching materials sa bag.
Kinuha niya rin ang isang 9x12 na sketchpad para sa ginagawa niyang story.
Magsisimula na sana siya ng may pumigil sa kaniya.
"hep hep! manonood ka din po Ms. Andy" Sabi ng President na ikinagalit niya sa loob pero nagpakita parin ng masayang ngiti si Andy.
"Sige po Mr. President" Sabi niya sabay ayos ng gamit at lagay sa bag.
"Ano bang problema nun?! Di ba niya alam na parang masusuka ako sa ganyan?! ang oa sobra!" Sabi ni Andy sa sarili.
Napilitan siyang manood.
Tinignan niya si President kung ano ang ginagawa and ayun nakabalot ang kamay sa babae.
Masusuka na sana siya ng naisipan niyang mag draw nalang talaga kahit na sinaway na siya ng president. Wala siyang pake alam.
Nag isip siya ng kung ano ang magandang i draw nang biglang pumasok sa isip niya ang lalaking na imagine niya sa pag babasa ng libro. Isang tipikal na matangkad na lalaki, Eyeglasses at medyo kahabaan ang buhok. Eh parang galing lang din kasi sa anime na paborito ni Andy.
Dahan dahan niyang i ginuhit ang sketch para hindi masyadong mag mark sa next na page.
At makalipas ang 30 minuto, napag pasyahan na niya talagang makipag chikahan sa best friends niya.
Dahan dahan niyang ibinalik ang gamit niya sa bag para hindi madistorbo ang kaniyang mga kaklase na focus na focus sa panonood.
"Bakla, hindi pa ba kayo na bo-bore?" Tanong ni Andy sa kaniyang mga beshy. Ngunit napansin niya na Focus na focus  si Vincent at Ashley sa panonood. 
"Don't disturb muna, hindi pa kami nakakakita nito bakla." Sabi ni Vincent.
Tinignan niya rin si Janine na natutulog din.
"Ano ba naman ito? paano na ako? ughh! nakakabore na talaga?" Sabi ni Andy sa sarili.
"Excuse me ma'am, pwede po ba gumamit ng gadget?" Sabi ng kaklase niya na nagtatanong ng napakahina upang hindi madistorbo ang iba.
"mm... pwede" sabi ni Ma'am na nagpasaya ng masyado kay Andy.
"Lord, Maraming Salamat po at ipapa alis mo na po ako sa ka boring-an ng classroom na ito"  Sabi ni Andy sa isip na nagpapasalamat ng sobra sobra.
Agad niyang kinuha ang phone niya at nag data.
Mas bet niya na mag laro ng larong hindi gaano kilala pero para sa kaniya sobrang ganda na para sa kaniya.
Dali dali niya itong in-on at nag laro.
Halos 2 oras kasi ang Movie and nagplano pa talaga ang mga kaklase niya na mag play pa ng isa pang movie and ang genre naman ay sad na romance. And ayaw na ayaw ni Andy ng romance kase cringe nga daw.
Pero makalipas ang isa nanamang 30 minuto, napag pasyahan na talaga niyang matulog. 





-To be continued

Love is something na nakita na niya sa mga pelikula, nakita na niya sa mga tao. Pero Hindi pa niya naramdaman. 

Ngunit paano kung ang happily ever after niya ay hindi parang sa isang telenobela? Paano kung may twist? 
Will it still be Just A Typical Love Story?
Subaybayan ang kaniyang buhay upang iyong malaman ang kung ano ang nakalaan para sa kaniya.

Hayashi Sakura still can't get over the fact that she clearly saw Mori Ken's face at the establishment where she is currently working at. For the girl, his appearance is like a threat to her, like a time bomb that could explode anytime soon. If the school finds out what she's been doing to survive in Tokyo, she could lose her scholarship, and worse, she could be expelled from this prestigious institution for tainting their name with such 'scandalous' activities such as this.

Sakura doesn't know his intentions yet why did that guy suddenly decide to show up in her life after all the years that he has been avoiding her. But one thing is for sure, that she cannot allow him to know what her current work is… or else, her life here in Tokyo is truly finished before she could even have a jump start.

The next day in Hirosaki University, Hayashi Sakura tries her best to play it cool as she walks in the hallways on the second floor of the main school building leading to her first-period class for the first semester, which they will deal with the fundamentals of accounting. Sakura also learned from the brief orientation they had with Mr. Sato that the school only has two semesters each academic year, which is a relief to her to be honest.

The very first face that she saw upon entering their classroom is, unfortunately, Mori Ken's. He was already in his seat, scribbling something in his notebook, as Sakura is on her way to her chosen seat. Other students are happily having conversations with their groups or with their buddies, but no one has still paid attention to the girl nor show any signs that they are willing to include her in any of their groups.

Sighing, Sakura finally settled down in her seat, sling her bag behind her chair, and took out a notebook and a pen from it for jotting down notes later in their discussion. With her thoughts still lingering on the subject of her being a maid in secret, Sakura sneaks a glance over her shoulder to look at Ken and thoroughly observes him.

From what she is now seeing, Ken still looks oblivious of her connection with the cafe he visited yesterday. If, in the future, things start to get out of hand and this guy finally knows her secret, Sakura may have to leave the maid cafe someday even if she doesn't want to.

"I'm fully aware that you are now staring at me," Mori Ken says out of the blue, making Sakura flinch and hurriedly peels her gaze away from her.

"I am not!"

Ken now faces Sakura with an amused expression plastered on his face.

"Yes, you are."

"I am not! I was just…" Sakura tries to look for a solid alibi that could get her out of this humiliating situation when she sees the sketch on Ken's notebook. "I was just admiring your artwork. That's all!"

Ken chuckles and opens the notebook for Sakura to see what he has been drawing these past few minutes.

"Geez, you don't have to sound so defensive there, Chichi." Ken croons, making Sakura stunned for a moment.

Chichi is Ken's nickname for her when they were kids, named after Chichi, Goku's wife from Dragon Ball Z, whom she admires the most because of her honest, prank, and brave character. They were both fans of the said anime series. On the other hand, Kenny is what Sakura used to call him during those days when they were still so close.

It's been so long since she heard that nickname from him that it got her stunned for a moment. But then, Sakura pretended like she didn't hear it and kept a straight face afterward.

"You know how I used to love drawing since we were kids, right? It's been so long since I've sketched." Sakura hears Ken sigh as he stares into his simple yet beautiful masterpiece: a quick sketch of a random anime girl. 

Not only are they introverts before, but also a slight Otaku as well-- which may not sound normal here. And Ken used to tell Sakura how much he wanted to be a manga artist someday when he grows up, and the girl has always cheered him up with his passion for drawing.

But Ken left Sakura hanging all of a sudden and started hanging out with his set of cool and extrovert friends, and before she knew it… Sakura was left alone enjoying the things that they used to love together all this time.

Sakura sets aside those thoughts for a while and replies, "Yeah, I remember that. But then you suddenly forget all about it and left me hanging before, right? So much for being a good friend back then, Ken." 

She doesn't mean to snap at the boy like that, for he doesn't really have the slightest idea how much damage he caused into her life, but the least she could do is to make things clear to Ken that things would never be the same way for them again.

"So please, Mori-kun… leave me alone." 

---

At the cafeteria, Sakura was eating alone in an empty table isolated from the rest while pretending to be busy by mindlessly scrolling her phone up and down. She was busy munching her tuna sandwich she made early this morning to avoid spending her money when something caught her attention all of a sudden.

It was a new thread in the Introvert Nation site that came from her online friend, Sushi Roll. Sakura hurriedly chugged on her water container before reading Sushi Roll's recent post an hour ago.

"Love is hard for introverts, indeed. The feelings are there, but the means of expressing ourselves to the person we like is lacking."

After reading such a heartfelt post from her online friend, Sakura quickly tapped his name to send a quick direct message.

----

NekoNii
-> I saw your post just now. Are you okay?

---

Sakura was on her way to take another bite of her homemade sandwich when Sushi Roll replied to her.

---
SushiRoll
-> Yes, I'm fine. Thanks for asking. 

---

But Sakura could tell that this person is really not okay even though they aren't facing each other at the moment. Trying to be a good friend to Sushi Roll, she sent another concerned message.

---

NekoNii
-> If you want and if it makes you feel better, you can talk to me about it. I still have twenty minutes before our third period.

---

Sushi Roll surprisingly took long before replying, probably assessing within himself if he could share what's troubling him to the girl. But a minute later, Sakura hears her phone beep and that's when she got the message from him.

---

SushiRoll
- > First of all, I'm a guy. And I have this girl whom I really like since God knows when, and I don't really know how to say it to her actually. Any tips, oh wise friend?

---

Forgetting his worries for a while, Hayashi Sakura's lips parted the moment she saw the first part of his reply. There were times that she assumed Sushi Roll is a girl because of how friendly he is on the site, and not just to her...but to every roleplayer/online person on the site as well. 

But now, Sakura is definitely sure that Sushi Roll is, in fact, a guy.

She is that masked maid he keeps seeing at the cafe whenever he needs someone to talk to, and he is that anonymous online friend of hers that constantly makes her smile whenever she's feeling down.

But what happens when these two keep crossing paths with one another at school without knowing about each other's secrets that lie beneath their sleeves?

Join Hayashi Sakura and Mori Ken in this romance-comedy novel that will make you realize that love may be as hard as others were saying for introverts like them.

Jenthrix 

"The press con is ready." said my Manager. 

"Thanks, Angela," I said. 

"Are you sure about this?" 

"So they don't heat me anymore." 

News spread quickly that Natsumi and I had been kidnapped. The media immediately made up the story. So first thing in the morning I immediately called my Manager to call a press con. At first, she did not want to. When I explained why, she agreed. The press con ended quickly. Lots of questions, stressful. It is difficult for the issue to escalate further, others will be affected by that issue. 

Someone also asked who the girl who was with me when the kidnapping happened. I did not say who, I just said that mistaken identity happened. I feel that reporters do not know Natsumi. After the press con, I went home immediately. I have more to go. When I could change my clothes, I left immediately. Kei is not at home so no one asks me what happened. 

"Are you leaving?" I asked the two of them. 

"Ah, yes. We still have work to do." 

I am here at the hospital now and I am talking to Kenshin and Zy now. I visit Natsumi. The doctor said that overfatigue was the reason why Natsumi suddenly fainted, then she also had a fever, but Natsumi was okay again. 

The two talked about whether I could take care of Natsumi first. It is said that there is no guard because Alexis is busy and then all their staff are busy at home because Natsumi's Mom might come anytime. Since I had nothing to do, I agreed. 

The size of the room, like a nice hotel. I've seen a lot of this, but it's better. I saw Natsumi sleeping peacefully. On the right side of her bed, there is a table there full of fruit, as well as the medicine he is taking. On the left side, flowers, a laptop, a cellphone, and two sketch pads. I looked at the sketch pad. Empty yet. I took the other one and sat on the sofa. I just sketched until I fell asleep and fell asleep. 

Natsumi 

White ceiling? Where am I? I sat down and looked at what I was wearing. Hospital dress? What happened last night? Yeah right, I lost consciousness. How did I get here? My head just hurts. 

Who is lying on the sofa? 

I approached the one lying on the sofa. Fortunately, the dextrose hanger has wheels. 

Jenthrix? 

What is this crazy doing here? 

I sat down as if you were standing in front of a child. I just looked at him. I hope he always sleeps. Because when he sleeps, he looks like an angel. Sharp nose, long eyelashes, red lips, and smooth face. He's perfect. 

I poked his cheek. The softness is great. I poked him to wake him up. I stopped because Jenthrix suddenly moved. You don't want to wake up huh? I ran my finger over his eyelashes. Let's just see if you don't wake up. I moved away a little because he suddenly moved upright. What I did was effective. 

"Natsumi, you're awake. Why did you stand up?" he said as he rubbed his hand to his eyes. 

"I just looked at who was lying on the sofa. I thought he was a kidnapper again." I said as I walked back to my bed. 

"Do you need something?" 

"Nothing." my answer. "What are you doing here?" I ask. 

"I am watching over you. And I will watch over you as you wish or not," he says. 

It's hard to argue with the person who doesn't want to lose so I just let him. I turned on the TV and watched Jenthrix's interview. Fortunately, he did not say who was with him when he was kidnapped. I switched to the Myx music channel because the news is boring. Jenthrix, on the other hand, peeled apple and orange. There are plans to make a fruit shake. 

"Eat fruit to gain strength quickly." once handed me the plate. 

This one is also kind. When he handed me the plate, he went back to the sofa and he sketched again. At noon, he said that he would just buy our lunch and he came back quickly, which was embarrassing to him. Is he doing nothing? It's only Friday, should he go to the school. 

"Are you doing nothing now? You must go to school." I told him. He just finished preparing our lunch. 

"I have nothing to do and nothing to do in the room. I might even be asked about last night so I didn't go in," he says. "Oh, say ahh." 

I was a little far away. "What are you doing?" I ask. 

"Just in return because if it weren't for you, we would still be hostages until now," he said and poured the food on me. 

Of course, because I was kind, I also shot him... more. He looks funny, he can almost be blown away. After we ate, Jenthrix left again. But this time, he disappeared for a long time. While I was doing nothing, I opened my laptop. And because I was lazy, I returned my laptop and went to sleep.

"Hey Natsumi, wake up. Time to take your medicine." I heard someone say waking me up. 

"I need to sleep. 10 minutes." I said. 

"Will you get up or I lift you?" when I heard that I automatically sat down. 

I made it hard for him to give me medicine. Let him stand there. But these crazy, passed me by the make face. I laughed so hard. The pain in my stomach is ridiculous. The amount he knows to make face. 

"Enough. It's okay, that's enough. I surrender. I'm going to take the medicine. Maybe I'll get worse later." I said while calming myself. 

"You're going to take it too, you made me suffer," he says. 

"Sorry, intentionally," I said. 

"Natsumi." he is serious. 

"Hmm?" 

"Let's forget the game. I shouldn't have beaten you anymore. I should just understand. I hope you can forgive me. And I hope we can be friends." he says. I was touched by what he said. 

"Come here, I'll whisper something," I said. 

"What is that? Aw! Aw! Natsumi! Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! That's enough!" I pinched his ear. It's so thrilling. I released him immediately. 

"Okay. Accepted. Friends." I said to Jenthrix, he's holding his ear. 

"Sorry," I said. 

Jenthrix 

Tiring but fun. This one has a craziness that is also hidden. 

She loves anime. She showed me her sketches and all of them were so amazing. She seems to be the creator of anime. 

Kenshin and Zy also came to the hospital with a woman and her name is Alexis. She's beautiful and cute. They also arrived here in the afternoon. 

"Coffee?" said Kenshin as he reached for the canned coffee. 

"Thanks," I said. 

"You know what? I just saw Natsumi laugh and smile like that again. It's been five years since the last time I saw her smiling and laughing like that." 

"Five years? Why?" I ask. 

"She found out that her parents had a plan for her future and then she returned to the Philippines," said Kenshin. 

I watched Natsumi talking to Alexis. Something like that happened in her life. 

And what did she find out? 

It's past seven in the evening when I say goodbye and I'm going home. I have more to go so I said goodbye. 

"Take care." I heard Natsumi say. 

"Get well," I said before leaving the door.
